A lightweight, simplified node.js library for accessing Windows Azure storage
This module is available in two forms: 'bluesky', which includes Microsoft's azure library as a dependency, and 'bluesky-lite', which allows you to pass in your own instance of 'azure'. This second option can be helpful in overcoming file path limits that prevent you from using 'bluesky' directly (for example, when using this with Azure Mobile Services).
// Default usage
var s = require('bluesky').storage({account: 'account', key: 'key'});
// or, if using bluesky-lite
var azure = require('azure');
var s = require('bluesky-lite').storage({azure: azure, account: 'account', key: 'key'});
// queues, with events
var q = s.queue('happenings');
q.on('message', function(msg, done) {
console.log(msg);
done(); // delete the message
});
q.poll(1000);
// blobs, as streams
var c1 = s.container('new');
var c2 = s.container('old');
c1.get('readme.txt').pipe(c2.put('archive.txt'));
// and tables, oh my!
var t = s.table('folks');
t.filter({'isPremium': true}).rows().on('data', function(err, row) {
console.log(row.user + ', ' + row.visits + ', ' + row.isPremium);
});

With 'azure' as a dependency (the most common way):
npm install bluesky
Without 'azure' as a dependency:
npm install bluesky-lite
The library can used with both Windows and non-Windows versions of node.js
This library depends on:
... and for unit tests:
